Exercising has definitely helped my back pain but you need to find the source of it first so you don't injure yourself. I work with a trainer who is well trained herself in osteo. We do upper one day and lower the next. I never hurt afterwards. Stay away from the phony trainers who just take you thru a circuit with no clue.

My doctor recommended walking for back pain; I do it every morning and can tell a difference when I miss a day. Seems counter-intuitive but it does work. I also have acupuncture for various aches and pains.

I get lower back pain if I stand alot or have to walk slow, a (having brows walk) I call it
If I sit just as the pain starts it wards of the nasty pains but you need to keep doing this
I also bend my knees and bending from the stomach hold my hands round my calf’s
I have a slip disc in my middle back and lots of silly little things in my lower back
Check with your doctor and ask for. An X-ray if you’ve not had one thou
Lots of things cause lower back pain xxxxxxxxx
Oh and only do what your body will allow xxccc
Merry Christmas xxxxx

I'm doing pool therapy right now, and it sure feels great while your doing the exercises.

Yes physio in warm water is a big help and gentle on bones!
